Downsizing a Silicon (111) wafer with the FlipScribe

The 4" wafer is downsized into quarters using the FlipScribe. It is first cleaved along a crystal plane in half and then into quarters by scribing across the entire half wafer. The scribe overcomes the (111) crystal line to produce the 1/4 wafer piece.
